I'd still be here versus anywhere else if Steemit had no rewards, but that's because I largely came for the drama (as well as the sheer variety of perspectives I could never access otherwise). PC fluff is boring.

Let's face it, Steemit is and always has been the gentleman's 4chan, with an aspect equivalent to GoFundMe for various personal causes, as its side salad. Let's not lament the supposed "quality" literature it may have intended conceptually to have sprung forth, because that was never going to happen and I don't want whatever "quality" would have been anyway.

May a new Steemit rise, like a phoenix from the ashes, up above this most recent hellfire of stupidity, entitlement, unabashed scamming, and botivity, to a new era of gentrified: brain farts, random observations, amateur art, and trash talk that one could be proud to admit to participating in, in public, because at least all that's real.

Please upvote this post to help pay for electroshock therapy for my three-legged iguana who got injured in a horrible unicycle accident last year, or he won't be able to finish his thesis on child poverty. Otherwise, you're a racist. And you're so racist you can't even understand why.
